Beyond the Classroom Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Haptics for Enhanced Surgical Training and Education

Duration
–

Purpose

  • Develop a haptic-enabled immersive platform for surgical education
  • Integrate cutting-edge VR and AR capabilities with wearable haptic devices to create realistic and immersive learning experiences
  • Improve learning outcomes and patient care by enhancing the comprehension and skill acquisition of medical students through haptic-enabled immersive learning
  • Reduce the environmental impact of traditional physical laboratories by providing digital immersive training scenarios

Results

ImmersiveSurgicalEdu results will be developed:

  • R1: compendium on applying immersive learning practices for medical study programmes
  • R2: immersive learning scenarios for the selected study programme
  • R3: Re-designed selected study programme by integrating the developed learning scenarios

Targets:
1) increased digital transformation skills and competences of at least 80 students
2) increased teachers competences (totally 4 teachers)
3) improved learning experience for at least 80 students
